We are thrilled to invite you to the Inaugural Del & Wanita Smyth Lecture on Peace, Justice and Human Security. As we take action against anti-Black racism as a Faculty, this lecture series offers a space for community building, knowledge sharing and mobilization. Starting this series off with a multi-national perspective, our first lecture brings together influential scholars/thinkers from Canada, the United States, and Kenya for a conversation about the possibilities and limitations of Black Freedom, moderated by Christina Sharpe.
